Abstract : In the present study, a new FR and non-slip finishing system in one step was developed for cotton/polyester (CO/PET) fabrics. Recipes including PVP (PR)-P-DCDA (Fire-off), polysilicic acid and citric acid combinations were developed and applied to cotton and CO/PET fabrics by impregnation method. FR properties and seam slippage resistance of treated fabrics with Fire-off/polysilicic acid systems were investigated. In addition, characterization analysis such as FTIR, DCS were performed and tensile properties of treated fabrics were tested in order to detect any changes on mechanical properties of fabrics after treatment. Results demonstrated that Fire-off/ polysilicic acid treatment leads good FR properties (LOI ˃27) and seam slippage resistance (warp: 2.2 mm, weft 1.2 mm) with superior ease of application in one-step process.
